The Moral Fiber of America (part 1)

Okay!  I wasn't going to engage in this Tom Foolery of a discussion:  BUT now I AM!
Since when did making a mockery of your integrity, esteem, and least of ALL family name get to be acceptable! 
Montana Fishburne, daughter to the great actor, Laurence (or to some Larry) Fishburne has decided to forsake her family namesake and become Chippy D a vivid (no pun intended) entertainment actress to the porn industry.  When I first heard the story I had a shake my head moment-not because she decides to bear her oochie wallie wallie on the small screen, but for this PYT's 19-year old reasoning behind partaking in such a pursuit.  She aspires to be a BIG name like Kim Kardashian!!
She wants the fame and money and, er...I suppose notoriety of having sex on camera and getting paid, plus endorsements, plus fans, not to mention the advantage of becoming an idol and one of America's 50 most beautiful people!  
I have to say; this is a sad, sad case!  Not because of what she wants to do, how she wants to do it, or even why she wants to do it; but the moral behind the story, at least for me!  Let's face it-sex is inevitable.  It makes the world go round!  It gets given, sold, taken, tested, tried, played with...I mean any verb you can imagine...I'm pretty sure sex can be equated with it.  It's been around forever, and I'm not talking about love making, or baby making...I'm talking about whorehouses, strip clubs, brothels, bordellos, cathouses, gentlemen's clubs, the list could go on...and please don't pretend to not know about them!  Our modern Hugh Hefner, Ron Jeremy, Paris Hilton, Mr. Marcus, Heidi Fleiss....enough!  These things have been going on a long time.  
There's nothing new under the sun!  However, there used to be decorum about these things.  It used to be shameful and disgraceful for you to desire these jobs.  If you engaged in the activities, you kept it from your family...as in don't ask, don't tell.  People still are shunned  by their families for such acts, to this day.  So my blog is not to frown upon this child.  She clearly needs guidance and support.  My blog is to ask the question, "What does our country deem important and successful?  Are the moral fibers and scrouples gone?  Are we lacking clear and intentional guidance for ourselves?" 
There used to be a time when young kids aspired to be CEO's, doctors, lawyers, dentists, teachers, coaches, accountants.  Now, they desire to immulate video vixens, porn stars, hip-hop artist, gigolos, baby mamas.   It's insane!  Adults are no better!  I'm sorry, but just because you see Nicki Manaj wearing a two piece bikini in the club on a video with red and yellow hair, does not mean that's the new trend.  You idiot it's called entertainment!! (Okay sorry, you're not an idiot.  No need for me to name call!  But you do need a reality punch in the damn face!)  Some things are for TV and the WOW factory.  Some things are for advertisement and trend-setting, but come-on now!!
Okay sorry, I digress...anywho, all I'm saying is we (Americans) need to stop glorifying demoralizing people, topics, situations and things.  Justin wanted to bring sexy back!  Well, I want to bring self-respect BACK!  Respect for authority, respect for elders, respect for education, respect for people, respect for property, respect for values, respect for God, respect for LIFE!

*Stay tuned* There's MORE*
